Trying to figure this out once and for all:

Nice review! I just ordered a pair of those Speedo socks. Thanks for doing the work Steve

Good work @SlalomSteve I’ll deft give latex a try at the end of the season... In the winter I’ve typically switched my RTP to a radar Adjustable RTP and used a 3 mm neoprene sock... not as tight on the rear foot as my Wiley RTP but has been better than skiing with a numb foot

@SlalomSteve Thanks for the info! I ski with numb feet 2-3 months out of the year. I would love to see a follow up piece on how well the Speedo's release from a boot. I use double animals. My last HO I tried a thin rubber bootie (like a dry suit seal material) and it was almost impossible to get my foot out of the binding.

The hybrid boots, with closed toes and foam liners, like the Vapor sure are warmer and easier to get in and out of in colder conditions.
